  Some has physical ones while some with emotional ones. I belong to the group with the combination of the two. I tuely relate to it with scares to prove it.

    Thank you for your comment. I am so sorry you have both. Mine was emotional and psychological. I guess they usually, mostly go together. I hope you've found your healing.

  Scars are a good thing unless we allow them to fester into baggage that we carry over only to make subsequent partners suffer. If we can avoid that, then we're doing okay. This is a very smartly written poem, Charmane. It's good to see you gleaning wisdom of the past in such a way. It says a lot about you. more »

    Thank you, Steve! We can only move forward if we don’t keep scratching our wounds. Let’s learn from them instead and share.

  This poem is truly beautiful and inspiring! I love how it portrays scars as symbols of resilience and strength, reminding us of our battles and victories. The poem's message is so important, especially in a world where people often feel ashamed or embarrassed by their scars. This piece reminds us to embrace our scars and wear them proudly, as each one tells a unique and powerful story.
  
  One suggestion for improvement would be to perhaps play with the imagery a bit more - what might our scars look like if they were "painting" our stories? How might that convey the message even more effectively? Overall though, this is a truly wonderful poem that I would be proud to share with others. more »

  Wow! This poem is truly inspiring and speaks to the courage and resilience we all possess. I absolutely love how it celebrates our scars and the unique stories behind each one. It reminds us that our journey, although at times may have been challenging, has ultimately led us to where we are today.
  
  One suggestion for improvement would be to perhaps explore the idea of scars not only as physical marks, but also emotional and mental scars. Many of us carry invisible scars that have shaped who we are, and it would be great to see that reflected in the poem as well.
  
  Overall, this poem is beautifully written and evokes a sense of pride and strength in oneself. Keep up the great work! more »
